Daydreaming

Artist Statement
"I try to maintain a healthy dose of daydreaming to remain sane."
- Florence Welch
Whether it's worrying or fantasizing, all of us daydream almost every day!
Daydreaming consists of little moments of yourself in the past, future and
present. Negative daydreaming leads to anxiety, stress and depression,
while positive daydreaming can improve your memory and allow you to be
more creative and stay hopeful. This piece represents positive daydreaming
and focuses on how we are the makers of our daydreams.
